Air Relief TurboLogix compressor control system

The Air Relief TurboLogix compressor control system monitors, protects and controls centrifugal air compressors.

The system is compatible with a range of centrifugal compressor makes and models and can be retrofitted without disturbing devices in existing control panels. The company claims it can handle a number of compressor stages, turbine or motor drives and any pressure range. Additionally, it has been developed using a non-proprietary system, which means parts will not become obsolete.

Developed with Allen Bradley components and software, the system is accessible to the user. Its algorithms and electronics enable the centrifugal compressor controlled by the TurboLogix to compensate for changing conditions. Multiple compressors can be connected together for load sharing and load balancing. The TurboLogix selects the best compressor combination to run to optimise pressure and flow control, claims the company. By controlling pressure and temperature, the risk of surges is reduced, making the compressors more efficient.

The system has a built-in history that stores up to 12 months of data, which can be interrogated by a number of parameters, allowing for full data trending. As an ethernet-based system, data can additionally be downloaded and accessed via modem or PC.

The system has a high-resolution colour 10.5” touch screen, ethernet control interface for remote access, 16 4-20 ma analog output channels and 16 120 VAC digital input and output channels.
